Políticas

Uma política de laço de eventos é um objeto global por processo que controla o gerenciamento do laço de eventos. Cada laço de eventos possui uma política padrão, que pode ser alterada e personalizada usando a API de política.

Uma política define a noção de contexto e gerencia um laço de eventos separado por contexto. A política padrão define context como a thread atual.

By using a custom event loop policy, the behavior of get_event_loop(), set_event_loop(), and new_event_loop() functions can be customized.

Policy objects should implement the APIs defined in the AbstractEventLoopPolicy abstract base class.

Getting and Setting the Policy

The following functions can be used to get and set the policy for the current process:

asyncio.get_event_loop_policy()

Retorna a política de todo o processo atual.

asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(policy)

Set the current process-wide policy to policy.

If policy is set to None, the default policy is restored.

Policy Objects

The abstract event loop policy base class is defined as follows:

class asyncio.AbstractEventLoopPolicy

An abstract base class for asyncio policies.

get_event_loop()

Pegar o evento de loop para o contexto atual.

Return an event loop object implementing the AbstractEventLoop interface.

This method should never return None.

Alterado na versão 3.6.

set_event_loop(loop)

Definir o evento de loop do contexto atual como loop.

new_event_loop()

Cria e retorna um novo objeto de laço de eventos.

This method should never return None.

get_child_watcher()

Get a child process watcher object.

Return a watcher object implementing the AbstractChildWatcher interface.

This function is Unix specific.

set_child_watcher(watcher)

Set the current child process watcher to watcher.

This function is Unix specific.

asyncio ships with the following built-in policies:

class asyncio.DefaultEventLoopPolicy

The default asyncio policy. Uses SelectorEventLoop on both Unix and Windows platforms.

There is no need to install the default policy manually. asyncio is configured to use the default policy automatically.

class asyncio.WindowsProactorEventLoopPolicy

An alternative event loop policy that uses the ProactorEventLoop event loop implementation.

Disponibilidade: Windows.

Monitores de processos

A process watcher allows customization of how an event loop monitors child processes on Unix. Specifically, the event loop needs to know when a child process has exited.

In asyncio, child processes are created with create_subprocess_exec() and loop.subprocess_exec() functions.

asyncio defines the AbstractChildWatcher abstract base class, which child watchers should implement, and has two different implementations: SafeChildWatcher (configured to be used by default) and FastChildWatcher.

Veja também a seção Subprocesso e Threads.

The following two functions can be used to customize the child process watcher implementation used by the asyncio event loop:

asyncio.get_child_watcher()

Return the current child watcher for the current policy.

asyncio.set_child_watcher(watcher)

Set the current child watcher to watcher for the current policy. watcher must implement methods defined in the AbstractChildWatcher base class.

Nota

Third-party event loops implementations might not support custom child watchers. For such event loops, using set_child_watcher() might be prohibited or have no effect.

class asyncio.AbstractChildWatcher

add_child_handler(pid, callback, *args)

Register a new child handler.

Arrange for callback(pid, returncode, *args) to be called when a process with PID equal to pid terminates. Specifying another callback for the same process replaces the previous handler.

The callback callable must be thread-safe.

remove_child_handler(pid)

Remove o manipulador para processo com PID igual a pid.

The function returns True if the handler was successfully removed, False if there was nothing to remove.

attach_loop(loop)

Attach the watcher to an event loop.

If the watcher was previously attached to an event loop, then it is first detached before attaching to the new loop.

Note: loop may be None.

close()

Close the watcher.

This method has to be called to ensure that underlying resources are cleaned-up.

class asyncio.SafeChildWatcher

This implementation avoids disrupting other code spawning processes by polling every process explicitly on a SIGCHLD signal.

This is a safe solution but it has a significant overhead when handling a big number of processes (O(n) each time a SIGCHLD is received).

asyncio uses this safe implementation by default.

class asyncio.FastChildWatcher

This implementation reaps every terminated processes by calling os.waitpid(-1) directly, possibly breaking other code spawning processes and waiting for their termination.

There is no noticeable overhead when handling a big number of children (O(1) each time a child terminates).

Custom Policies

To implement a new event loop policy, it is recommended to subclass DefaultEventLoopPolicy and override the methods for which custom behavior is wanted, e.g.:

class MyEventLoopPolicy(asyncio.DefaultEventLoopPolicy):

    def get_event_loop(self):
        """Get the event loop.

        This may be None or an instance of EventLoop.
        """
        loop = super().get_event_loop()
        # Do something with loop ...
        return loop

asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(MyEventLoopPolicy())
